Some of these I agree with others I disagree with. Regardless, I want Whit to stay. He’s one of the great coaches in the country, not just coaches, but CEO’s of a CFB team. It’s a lot more than just coaching. I hope he stays.

Except they did win it according to two major selectors recognized by the NCAA. So you are factually wrong.

Look at the list for National Champions, Utah is listed with Florida for 2008. Why? Because two major selectors recognized by the NCAA had Utah #1.

All ignoring that does is continuing to perpetuate the…[Read more]

The play calling was horrendous.

It’s not pathetic at all, they should claim the title. And so should Utah for 2009. We Ute fans should have UCF’s back more than anyone as we know how it feels to get screwed, except for us it was twice, because of a crappy, unfair system.

I don’t know if it’s the case for UCF, but the NCAA actually recognizes Utah as co-Champions that season…[Read more]

Not a bad high water mark for a career. Pretty great job by Whit.

I do wish we played either BYU or Colorado this weekend or even TCU. But it shouldn’t ever be some team on the East Coast who we have zero connection with.

What do you have against KSL? they’ve provided great Ute coverage the last decade.

1. He’s earned it

2. He’s a top 10 or 20 HC in the game

Why are you all so quick to assume that this season is the new normal? It’s far more likely under Whit that this is the anomaly.

Shouldn’t Whit be given that chance to evolve or die. He’s embraced NIL, he’s embraced the transfer portal, and he’s made it very clear that he’s looking at everything right now and how the program needs to evolve.

You don’t fire a great CEO because they have one bad year. You don’t fire a 20 year successful head coach who is one of the best in…[Read more]

I’d choose Whit. He’s been a successful head coach for 20 years, one of the best in the game.

I think Scalley will do great, but I don’t know it. Being head coach is a lot different and a lot of “grear hires” turned out to fail.

I agree with you 100%

I’d say give him one more year to turn it around, I think all coaches should be given a minimum 3 years.

But this isn’t Coach’s 2nd year, it’s his 20th and this is his first failure of a season. He deserves another 4 or 5 at minimum if he wants it to turn it around. He’s earned at least that much.

Yep, you’ve been a fan that long and one bad season is enough to throw it all away? Give me a break.

LOL, you want me to believe that if Utah comes out firing next season or the season after and is back to their winning ways that you aren’t going to another game ever?

What bull crap. Talk about soft, snowflake, fair weather fans. One bad season and it’s all hell fire and damnation. Good lord, get a grip.

You complete idiots who want Whit fired over one bad season are utterly ridiculous.

Whit deserves all the criticism he’s getting this season. He should be getting crushed for it and he is. But you don’t fire one of the great coaches in the country over one bad season after 20 years of success.

Yet lowly Utah who had been irrelevant prior to that except the year before managed to go:

1. Undefeated in 2008 and finished 2nd in the country

2.Got promoted to the Pac 12

3. Won 2 Pac12 Championships

4. Played in two Rose Bowls

5. Has one of the highest % of weeks ranked in the CFP rankings

The offensive struggles are super annoying and…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ve expected to lose the last few weeks. Still lost.
